On: How Google should have acquired EtherPad

[cmelbye]

Uh, I just went onto http://etherpad.com/ and I was able to create a new pad. Maybe Google is listening to the complaints?

Oh awesome! This must be recent, I was at Etherpad a few hours ago and that button was disabled. I hope Google heard us.

The ease with which you can replace "Google" with "God" in that sentence is disconcerting.

[pavs → silentOpen]

Since one of them doesn't really exist, its really easy to replace it.

Wow, this is great! They haven't announced anything new (still officially is read only) but it looks like they are preparing to reverse their stance!

Yeah, they have announced changes: http://etherpad.com/ep/blog/posts/etherpad-back-online-until....
